The owners won without hindsight!!! They have the 99% cash spending mechanism over the first two years, they and the commissioner have put the players in a bad position with the conduct policy rulings, and they got somewhat higher of the revenue share. It used to be 50-50, but now it’s between 47-53 and 48-52.

I’m not surprised this is beyond someone who relies on text-speak, but our legal system is extremely complex. Judges, especially at the federal level, must be well-versed in the law in order to rule on these difficult issues. That requires years and years of study and experience. It’s not a matter of just sitting on a chair and judging people🙄

I don’t believe the concussion issue will kill football. New technologies will make the game safer, and the Powers That Be aren’t going to risk billions of dollars in revenues because they’re too cheap to invest in better helmets. But Doty’s right. All this endless fighting over every dollar could eventually lead to a football Armageddon in the courtroom. If these dogs don’t stop tearing at this piece of meat, they’re liable to wind up with a decision no one can stomach.

I still dont understand what credentials DeMaurice Smith has pertaining to him being the NFLPA Executive.

=========================

Sounds like Judge Doty has been hoping the NFL would implode for awhile now. That might explain some of his rulings.

Now if the Vikings did move out of Minnesota, wouldn’t any new NFL cases be out of the Minnesota court’s jurisdiction?

Thu, 14 Jun 2012 23:41:47 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=873525#comment-1834139This whole thing is still dirty pool on the part of DeMaurice Smith. He agreed to the punishments because doing so raised the salary cap and saved his job, and now that he’s been re-elected, he’s suing the NFL claiming that the actions he was part of constituted collusion.

In retrospect, I bet Goodell wishes he had just let the salary cap fall this year.
